Default Snow chains?

Well, I'm stationed in Korea and this is how the weather ended up today. Any good recommendations for chains?[attachment=31175:ImageUploadedByTapatalk1354682962 .628956.jpg]

Never been a fan of them.. unless you have a big truck... if 1 of those chains decides to fail.. or break due rubbing with asfalt too much... imagine what could happen to your quarter panel

Why not cables? Far less noise and damage.

Parking it for the season or get a set of spiked snow tires.

+1 winter tires, no need for chains or cables.

Get a spare set of wheels, mount winter tires, swap wheels as seasons change.

FYI, winter tires aren't just for snow, they are correct compound for cold temps. So you want them on the car when cold arrives, not just when snow arrives.

I understand you need these tires NOW. It may take you a while to source a set of spare wheels. So maybe mount snows on wheels you have now, save the summer tires. Get a new set of wheels when you can, mount summer tires to those.

Dedicated snow tires (not all-season bs) on all 4 corners and you should be fine.
